Samsung HMX-W200 Waterproof HD Recording with 2.4-inch LCD Screen (Red)

I bought the Samsung HMX-W200 camera to take better video than my cell cellphone of my 2yr old son. I needed a thing little, rugged, and swift to turn on so as not to miss anything, and light enough to carry in a pocket with me most of the time.
So far this is a great tiny video camera. I took a number of video’s with it, and they turned out fantastic. A couple of things to note even though. It utilizes a Micro SD, or Micro SDHC dimension card for storage, which you have to purchase separately. It will record four hours at 720 or 2 hrs at 1080 on a 16GB card. 1 of the evaluations I study on a marketing web site mentioned that you could alter the frame rate, if you can, I have not located out how. The menu gives only 2 options 1080 and 720, both at 30fps. It only takes 1.five seconds from when you press the power button, to currently being ready to shoot video. When you plug the camera into your personal computer, it sets itself up as 2 drives, one with the data, and the other with the intelli-studio Light computer software. I identified this to be extremely effortless to use to do fundamental editing, cutting out little elements of the video that I did not want, and so forth… I also adore the characteristic that permits me to pause the recording and then start it once more without making a separate file.

VIDEO:
The 1080p appears wonderful. It also looked fantastic on my 50in. HDTV. For the price this camcorder is properly worth it. Every little thing Samsung claims about this camcorder is accurate. I have been utilizing it for a month now. So far so great. Nonetheless I have not even believed about placing it in water. But I have utilized it in the rain and it nevertheless worked fantastic.

Photographs:
I only give the 4 stars simply because there is no timer for taking images. It is not a large deal when I am shooting video. But I do like they way photos search on this thing. It requires the most regular hand in the world. I have used a tripod and it aids a small. I just wish I could set a timer to assure a nevertheless shot. The camera impressively utilizes all organic light. I comprehend the selling point for this camera is the 1080p video, but I do not usually want to carry each my Canon EOS and my Samsung HMX when attending a public event.

Overall:
If you happen to be in the market place for a pocket camcorder go with this one particular and not the Flip. It is rugged, waterproof, and ready to record two seconds soon after you turn it on.

I purchased this soon after a really undesirable encounter with a JVC Picsio (otherwise known as garbage). It comes on speedily, records very good top quality (grainy in low light conditions, but that’s anticipated) video and retailers really effortlessly for speedy access for those tiny moments you want to capture. It’s effortless to unload the video, easy to edit and effortless to personal. Got this for my wife who HATES overly complex devices, which this is not. I feel that if your hunting for a thing that is actually waterproof, rugged and nonetheless requires substantial good quality video, then acquire this and you wont be disappointed.
